They are the champions.

The baby blue bombers won the Little League World Series title in a thrilling comeback victory over Chinese Taipei.

In front of more than 30,000 people in Williamsport, Pa., and many more watching around the world, the Park View Little League team became the first team from San Diego County to win the Little League World Series in more than 40 years. And they did it without their trademark homeruns.

The Park View boys from Chula Vista won the coveted title, 6-3, over Chinese Taipei in a game filled with drama.

Things did not start well for Park View. Chinese Taipei hit back-to-back home runs in the third inning to take a 3-0 lead.

But a three-run lead is not much against Chula Vista.

In the bottom of the fourth inning, Chula Vista was able to close the gap to 3-2 with their slugger, Kiko Garcia, at the plate. Instead of a home run, Taiwan's catcher let's one get away, allowing just enough time for the player on third to come home on the passed ball. After an intentional walk to Luke Ramirez, Bulla Graff singled to right field to give Chula Vista its first lead, at 4-3.

In the fifth inning the crowd was chanting “P-V-L-L” and the team listened. They weren’t giving anything up.

Chinese Taipei threatened in the very next inning. With runners on first and second, Garcia walked the next batter to load the bases with one out. The next batter for Chinese Taipei grounded to short stop Andy Rios, who tagged the runner headed to third, and then threw to first for a double play to end the inning and the threat.

Park View got some breathing room in the bottom of the fifth. With two out and two on base in the inning, Seth Godfrey connected with a drive down the left field line to plate Park View's fifth run. The next batter, Rios, also delivered an RBI hit to make it, 6-3.

Later in the inning: Chinese Taipei's worst nightmare. The bases were loaded for 6-foot-2 Luke Ramirez as he stepped to the plate. The first baseman connected, sending one deep -- really deep -- to center field. Thoughts of a Grand Slam ran through fans' heads -- but it wasn't meant to be. The center fielder caught the fly ball only inches away from being a home run. Park View still led, 6-3, going into the final inning.

In the final inning, Garcia retired the first two batters and then hit the third. That put a runner on base with two out. But Garcia was too much for the Chinese Taipei batter, who struck out to end the game.

For Park View fans that couldn't travel to Williamsport to see the game in person, there was one place to be. Fans arrived at Oggi's pizza hours before the game's first pitch just to get a seat.

Park View is now the first team from San Diego County to win the Little League World Series in more than 40 years. So, now that they've won it all, what happens next? Well, let the celebrations continue.
